Ep. 4 "What is work?"

Buckle up, buttercups, because this week we are dragging ourselves through the trenches! In an industry that looks all glitz and glitter, we’re peeling back the lace front to reveal the gritty, sticky, and downright hazardous reality of the "Nightmare Gig."From the "Ceiling Fan of Death" (RIP to many a 10-inch wig) to performing for a room full of empty chairs and one very confused lady, we’re discussing why these disasters are actually the ultimate rite of passage. If you haven’t changed in a mop closet or performed on a stage made of literal wooden pallets, have you really done drag? We discuss The Bachelorette Party scene: How to handle the "Woo-Girls" who think your hair is a handle and the stage is their personal playground. The Corporate Cringe: Performing for HR managers who stare at you like you’re a 3D movie they didn’t pay for. The "Post-Gig Ghost": That humbling 2:00 AM walk to your car looking like a swamp creature that lost a fight with a Claire’s boutique. Plus the ultimate toe-tapping sound when the music is low or cuts out. We have it all. This week, we are celebrating the one and only Justine Van De Blair! She is the definition of "party, girl” reigning supreme as our favorite ditzy yet glitzy queen. Hold onto your heels, because our Petty Confessions segment is extra spicy today. We close up shop with our Tips & Tricks of the Week, giving you the survival guide for when the music cuts out, the tape gives up, or the heels snap mid-death drop.
